Bush didn't have twitter. Also the neocons generally liked him. Plus he didn't spawn a weird cult of people who dress up like Vikings and storm government buildings.

Donald posted too hard and attracted too many weirdos.

Donald posted too hard and attracted too many weirdos.

Roughly half of voting Burgerlanders remain attracted to his brand. The needle didn't even move during recent "coming to eat your pets" nazi clownfoolery. They're ride-or-die.

They're not going anywhere until their spite runs out and they finally die.

Okay, not really relevant to my point that Libs probably aren't going to rehabilitate him.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

I think it is relevant because libs continually reach rightward and will want those die-hards for themselves. It may even become an easy and relatively harmless performative gesture if trump-anguish finally croaks and they do all kinds of civility circuses to rehabilitate his image.

I think Libs are holding out for the more competent fash. Trump is too cringe and weird, at least the SS had suits made by Hugo Boss.

The MAGAts will likely wriggle around for some time after trump-anguish is dead and the libs will probably at least try to win them over because posthumous asskissing is easy.

I think a lot of Chuds are gonna normie-fy after the wet boy is gone, try and pretend they never liked him or weren't THAT into him. Sorry aunt Suzie we got the pics of your front porch covered in Trump paraphernalia! THAT's when the Libs could maybe wrangle them into some "Centrist (Right)" coalition.

I can see a case for that too, like how so many post-WW2 Germans were totally not nazis and totally had no idea what was going on. sus-soviet

No he just spawned a weird cult that tried to call French fries freedom fries and a Toby Keith song with the lyrics "we'll put a boot in your ass it's the American way" was on top of the billboards.
